Speed Demon Fox News Personality Hit With HUGE Speeding Ticket

It always seemed like Jeanine Pirro couldn’t get out of the faded New York state town of Elmira fast enough. But on Sunday it seems she was in a rush to get there.

The former district attorney, whose show "Justice with Judge Jeanine" is a staple of the Fox News channel, was ticketed by a state trooper Sunday for driving 119 mph in the Southern Tier town of Nichols.

Pirro, 66, was pulled over at 1:15 p.m. on Route 17, said a spokeswoman for the state police. The speed limit there is 65 mph.

“I had been driving for hours to visit my ailing 89-year-old mom and didn’t realize how fast I was driving," she said. "I believe in the rule of law and I will pay the consequences.”
